I hope Ui&l in nrj answer I may be able to give you a few words of comfort. We must be resigned to the fact that we shall never be able, to understand the ways of Almighty God - the crosses which He sends us, the sacrifices which He demands of us. We must have faith in His plans for our salvation and for the salvation "of our loved ones, and we must leave our lives and our future to His inscrutable Providence. .•<• God never sends us a cross too heavy for us to bear. He knows pur weakness and our strength, and He is all compassionate and all good. Life is not easy for any of us, but it is a challenge and it is up to us to pray, to resolve to be erect and strong and not be a burden to our family and our friends. If we.keep busy mentally and physically, we do not have time to dwell on the past and on what might have been, but we are filled -with a consuming passion to accomplish something worthwhile for the futurel In this way we turn our' heartaches into constructive efforts to lighten the sorrow of others.
